Some Episodes in New England Railroad Consolidation1

Author

  • Baker, George P.

Abstract

The combination of some 200 small railroads in New England into the present few systems has involved so many interesting episodes that to describe them all would take a very long time. I shall limit myself therefore to describing a few typical series of events which led to consolidations in New England. The first two episodes deal with the incorporation of branch lines within the larger systems of from 60 to 80 years ago; the third episode deals with the attempted and in part successful building up of a through line from Boston to New York and to the Hudson River above New York.
